Answer:
9. c) Scale: 1 in = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles
Step-by-step explanation:
From the sub part (a), we get that the actual distance between the river city and pine bluff as 9 miles because the scale in sub part (a) is 1 in = 3 miles. Therefore, 3 inches equal 9 miles.
Given:
Actual distance between river city and pine bluff is 9 miles.
Distance on the map is given as 6 inches.
So, 6 inches on map equals 9 miles in actual.
Therefore, 1 inch on map equals [tex]\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles in actual.
Therefore, the scale of the map is given as:
Scale: 1 in = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles
